EndNote: Styles & Templates

Output styles are also known as citation or reference styles. Some of the better-known citation styles are APA, Chicago, and MLA. 

More than 7,400 output styles have been defined for EndNote. Normally your initial installation of EndNote will only include the top 300 or so most popular output styles. The complete set of available citation styles is available for download from Clarivate's EndNote website. Please note that you can use the "style finder" on the EndNote website to help you sort through the thousands of styles available. You can also sort the repository of output styles by style name, discipline or date.

• Windows users will store these output/citation styles in Windows (C:) > Program Files (x86) > EndNote 21 > Styles
• Macintosh users will store these output/citation styles in Applications > EndNote 21 > Styles

For the convenience of its users, EndNote includes built-in Microsoft Word templates used to format manuscripts (e.g., journal articles) for given journals or in a particular style. 

The complete set of available templates is available for download from:  https://endnote.com/downloads/templates/. Please note that you can sort the available templates by style name, discipline or date OR you can filter these templates on the basis of discipline.

Mac users should note that the EndNote desktop installation process will not include any manuscript templates if the installer detects Word 2008, Word 2011, or Word 2016 as your only version of Microsoft Word. Please see this article for more information.
